FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?
Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.
Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.
Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.
This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.
And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!
{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!
Now that we've reached 10,000 pages on this site, it has become necessary to create a new method of indexing the pages, seeing how it's not possible to link 10,000 pages from the navabar... heck, I had trouble just linking the top 100 pages in the navabar! LOL!
Since moving to this new url in 2013, I've been linking the top 100 most visited pages in the navabar and then linking to everything else from them. As of October 15, 2017, that system is being replaced with this one, which, hopefully will make it easier for you to navigate around this massive site.
So, now I'm creating topic pages, which will contain this links to the pages, and I'll just link to the topic pages in the navabar instead. Hopefully this system of indexing the pages will make it easier for you to find the pages you are looking for.
Enjoy!
This page's topic is...
As you know (or maybe are just finding out?) I am an author and my primary genre is Fantasy. That means I've got a lot of articles and videos on the topic of writing Fantasy novels.
Well, one of the primary components of the Fantasy genre is the use of Magic. While not all Fantasy has magic and most of the novels, novellas, and short stories I write, do contain magic on some levels.
Most of what I write is a "Low Fantasy" style magic, where magic is similar to our real-world magic. As in, most people don't believe it exists, and the few that do are seen as crazy, by the general population.
The primary difference between the fiction I write and the reality of real world magic, is that in the Quaraun series, magic actually does exist and the people who use it really are crazy, because the use of magic slowly drives them insane as magic was not meant to be harnessed and used.
And thus, you have characters who get bullied by non-magic wielding folks, and magic users with unsavoury labels slapped on them by said bullies, resulting in characters with names like:
Quaraun the Insane and GhoulSpawn the Crazed.
Quaraun Swanzen is his real name, and he hates being called "The Insane".
GhoulSpawn's name is less fortunate. His real name is Gremoshe Liore, he prefers to go by Glintar, but he is a half-Elf who is half-Demon, and so in his case, the derogatory hate term "GhoulSpawn" (meaning half-Demon) is slapped on him, along with the label "The Crazed."
Quaraun is a Necromancer who uses DiJinn magic, while GhoulSpawn is a Sorcerer who uses Chaos Magic. Their companion BoomFuzzy the Unicorn is an Illusionist who used Candy Magic. In the end, most of the magic systems I build revolve around these 3 wizards and the types of magic they do.
In any case, I've written several articles on how I built the Magic System of the Quaraun series, if you are interested in learning more about the series or seeking info on how to build a magic system for your own novels, then, the links below are the ones you are looking for:
So that you can see the Magic System mentioned in the previous articles in action, here are excerpts and sample chapters from the novels.
NOTE: While Quaraun is the main character, the series told from his PoV, and technically he is the "hero" of the series, he is in fact a "super villain" archetype, and is seen by the majority of society as the evilest of all evils to ever walk the face of the Earth.
If you were unaware of what the series is about - it's the story of his life, how he went from a kind hearted loving Elf, to become a mass murdering serial killer.
Do not be fooled by the pink cartoon cover art. The Quaraun Series is Rated M18+ for graphic scenes of grisly violence, gorn, murder, and torture porn.
Reader discretion is advised...

We are going to be moving all my articles from "The Sea Witch of Old Orchard Beach" and the "Grey Witchcraft" websites over here to EelKat.com soon and when I do, I'll list them here on this section as well.
These articles, deal with real world magic, focusing on Hoodoo, Rootwork, and Gypsy Faerie Faith. They touch on the subjects of Candle Magic, Honey Jars, Doll Babies, Mojo Bags, Gris-Gris, Divination, Card Reading, HotFooting, etc.
While not focused on Fantasy World Building and creating fictional stories for novels, they do detail real world magic arts and can be used as a reference source for writing Fantasy magic systems.
Those articles will be added to this list here:
It occurs to me that I have videos on how to write magic for wizards as well.
I do daily vlogs, most of them deal with topics related to writing my novels. So, I guess I should link to those here too.
Here they are:
And here are more videos that deal with writing Fantasy novels. Not specifically magic related, but on that same slant, so I'll put them in this list as well, as you may find the info helpful when it comes to designing a magic based world of wizards and Elves.

Next time you go to do a mean thing to a fellow human, stop and really think about the consequences of your actions.
Did you ever notice how every one has a story to tell about me, yet not one of them ever speaks the truth?
What lies has YOUR gossiping tongue spread about me?
Did you know...

August 8, 2013, the house which replaced the one the bomb blew up, was driven over by a backhoe.
November 14, 2013, my 8 month old infant son was murdered because of your lies.
November 14, 2013, I was beaten up, paralized for 5 months, spent 18 weeks relearning to walk, I'm now crippled for the rest of my life, because of YOUR lies.
Are you proud of what you have done?
Enjoy your eternity in Hell. You earned it. You've certainly worked hard for it.
